Vehicle Description
Fiat Jolly 1958
This delightful car is a unique Abarth-engined Fiat Jolly that has
been in single family ownership since new.
In 1958 Fiat shipped a number of their very popular 600s to the
Italian designer Ghia for conversion into an open topped version
termed the Jolly. Featuring wicker seats and the option of a
fringed canvas roof to shield its occupants from the Mediterranean
sun, these cars were, from the outset, intended for relatively
wealthy customers and cost almost twice as much as a standard Fiat
600. Being built in very limited numbers, and with less than 100
believed to survive today, they are highly sought after by
enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Jolly offered here is a very special example being the only car
ordered from Ghia with an Abarth 750 engine and having been in
single family ownership since 1958 when it was ordered by Mr
Perinetto as a gift for his daughter to celebrate the birth of her
son and his grandson, Gianni. The car was accordingly registered in
her name and remained so until 1976 when it re-registered in the
name of Mr Perinetto's secretary for tax purposes. The car was
finally registered in the name of its last private owner, the
grandson of Mr Perinetto, on 25th January 1985 and upon inheriting
the car he decided to return it to its original colour scheme, the
car having been previously repainted Metallic Green in 1964. Now
finished in its correct Cream livery the Jolly is absolutely
original in every respect having covered less than 22,000 Km since
new and always kept with the same family. It comes with a history
file including sundry invoices, documents and importantly the
original registration book (Libretto Di Circolazione). UNDER OFFER
